Yes! I can struggle with that myself. I had a major panic attack that was so incredibly painful, just came over me and I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack. This was due to how crazy and unpredictable my sister was the last years of my parents lives. Little did I know that she had been extorting thousands of dollars from my parents. The worst part is she was manipulating them to think I was stealing from them all because she feared she was losing control. She tried to get me disinherited. I did not get a chance to even defend myself. I would NEVER steal from them.

People think if you hire a lawyer you can get justice. Well, that is simply not the truth. Getting justice is VERY expensive. And my parents thought they set things up to assure their estate would be equally divided. They would be absolutely furious to know what my sister did. I loved my sister, I was devastated when I learned all that she did. I do not want to ever see her again EVER. The person I had formed in my mind of her did not exist. I get it when someone loses trust in their own judgement.

My boundaries have been invaded in ways I never imagined. Life can have some very hard lessons. Your thread title caught my attention because I did learn too late on a lot of things.

Life has some dam hard lessons.
